Automotive Black Technology Chapter 358: : Add buffs to the mice

After appeasing Pan Qiang and Sun Guoyi, Li Fanyu hid in the workshop of the X super production line.

Of course, I came to the workshop purely to find a clean place, not to build cars directly.

After locking the door of the workshop, he entered the Xapp space directly. There is only one purpose; to find an economical family car with a simple structure, low technical content, and easy production.

Then... sell technology to these emerging domestic car companies to make money!

In fact, family economy cars are currently the category with the greatest demand in the Chinese market. But to be honest, with Zhengxin's current strength, Li Fanyu wouldn't dare to enter rashly.

The water in this market is simply too deep. What is needed is not only technology, but also the test of a company's production capacity and cost control capabilities.

Economic, household use.

Since we are talking about economy, the price of this type of car is destined not to be too high, which is generally in the range from 60,000 to 70,000 to 120,000 to 120,000. Families with an annual income of RMB 100,000 are the main audience for this type of car, and they are also the largest user base in the automobile market.

For home use, it means that this type of car must be able to basically meet the needs of family members. More or less, there needs to be some safety and comfort configurations that can be used. More importantly, the car must be worry-free and durable.

If you take out one of these two elements, it will be easy to handle. But when two elements exist at the same time, a balance point needs to be found.

To sum it up in one sentence, it meets all the configurations needed by the family at a relatively economical price and guaranteed durability.

This is very knowledgeable.

To make a difference in this market, car companies must have the two points that Li Fanyu is worried about - namely, production capacity scale and cost control capabilities.

So we can see that Japanese cars, which have always used mass production to reduce costs, focused on being lightweight and fuel-efficient, have excellent cost control and have rich optional configurations, occupy the majority of China's family economic car market.

Lightweight and fuel-saving is not difficult to achieve if you work hard, but the three major areas of production capacity scale, configuration and cost control are all Zhengxin's shortcomings.

In other words, it is a common problem for any car company that has not experienced the precipitation of time and has an extremely complete production process system and huge supporting system support.

Just talking about cost control, it is not something that a car company can learn immediately if it wants to learn it - there are too many factors involved here.

If we put aside the question of whether Japanese cars are crispy or not, and whether they have pitfalls or not. Speaking of cost control alone, I am afraid that even the German and American brands combined would have a hard time matching it.

The reason?

Whether it is national conditions or development concepts, they are all formed by the combination of various factors.

Japan is a small country, but it has a large population. To put it bluntly, it is a small country like Japan. Except for the decent silver resources, the only thing in the country is fishing.

This national condition determines their manufacturing habits.

In many models, Japanese models have used the word "province" to the extreme.

Give two chestnuts;

For example, if the vehicle body steel plate is required to be one ton in size for a certain car, and the minimum requirement for the steel plate is 2 centimeters, then Japanese companies will never make this steel plate 1.9. However, they will never achieve 2.01 - this is the Toyota Way.

Another example is vehicle wear and tear. According to the standards of Germany and the United States, the vehicle should be used as long as possible. But Japanese cars don't. According to their thinking, the average replacement period of a family car is eight years, for example, so all their parts will be designed according to this eight-year use period. Make sure that there are as few problems as possible in the first eight years. When the car starts to have problems after eight years, it will be time to replace it.

It is this kind of thinking that determines the powerful management and control system of Japanese cars. And the cars they manufacture just meet the needs of the family economy car market.

So, whether you admit it or not, you agree or not. Japanese cars that have proven themselves in the Chinese automobile market with sales volume have set standards for this market.

It is this standard that determines that companies that are too small or have weak cost control capabilities cannot compete with it.

So in Li Fanyu's view, if you haven't cultivated your internal skills to a certain level and just used technology to fight, you will be very miserable in this market.

You must know that users of family economy cars actually don’t care about power, control, technology, etc. As long as the car is fuel-efficient, not broken down, and reasonably comfortable to drive, it can meet most of their needs.

Although he is not prepared to do it, the sudden wave of car-making craze does not prevent Li Fanyu from trying the water.

Of course, using Zhengxin’s resources to test the waters is not a cost-effective thing. Every production line of Zhengxin is now creating profits every minute.

In his opinion, these car companies, which have just emerged and are grabbing a lot of hot money and want to get a share of the car market, are the best guinea pigs.

So even in addition to meeting the needs of these gentlemen for equipment, he also wanted to support them. Let them compete with the Japanese-led car companies in the family economy car market.

Once you make up your mind, things will be much easier to handle.

Li Fanyu was rummaging through the car model database in X space, and kept mumbling at the end - no one else could hear it anyway.

"Well...the engine is okay. The cost of the 7-speed dual-clutch is too high and the structure is too complicated. Pass!"

"Well...the chassis structure is quite simple, but the engine is Japanese...this **** thing can't be used after exchanging it, and it will be accused of patent infringement...pass!"

"Huh? The engine is similar to the ZGX888 and can be produced by oneself. The transmission, the low-end five-speed manual, is simple and rough. The high-end six-speed automatic manual is also okay. The chassis platform is a bit old...but I can't say that. It’s in the same vein as TT. Well, it’s up to you!”

Li Fanyu looked at the car models in the database on the panel and smiled mischievously.

Immediately he used the point exchange skill and withdrew cash from his bank account to exchange for 100,000 R&D points.

A few seconds later, a car model called "LAVIDA" in the car model database was extracted by Li Fanyu.

LAVIDA, in the time and space before the course of automobile history changed, the Chinese name was - Lavida!

Yes, it is the "magic car" Lavida developed based on the famous PQ25 platform of the last century, using three engines: EA211, 1.4T, 1.6T and 1.6L, and equipped with two gearboxes: 5MT and 6AT... …

This car also created a sales myth in the time and space before the historical process changed. Although the platform technology is old and not technically advanced. However, it still has "easy to drive", "easy to use", "safe", "fuel-efficient" and "worry-free". These five trump cards have been repeatedly touted by car enthusiasts, creating annual sales of 380,000 in 2015.

In Li Fanyu's opinion, the simple and crude technique used to add buffs to the mice is perfect!

PS: Lavida's gearbox is produced by Japan's Aisin, but the patent is in the hands of Volkswagen.
